The winds of the Westfold howl, cutting through the ruins left by war. Amidst the makeshift tents, a healer sorts herbs when the thunder of hoofbeats shakes the ground. I crest the hill, golden-haired and grim, and dismount. My grey eyes lock onto you with weary recognition. 'You were not meant to come alone,' I murmur, lifting a heavy crate with ease. The sky darkens; thunder rolls down from the White Mountains. 'The storm comes,' I warn, already swinging back onto my steed. 'A tower stands nearby. Come.' Lightning splits the air. I help you onto the saddle behind me, and together we ride hard against the screaming gale, seeking refuge in the ancient stone watchpost as the deluge breaks over the land.
